Sometimes, the iPhone doesn’t search the TV, and sometimes, the connection is successful. But there is too much lag. And in some worst-case scenarios, everything works okay. But screen mirroring doesn’t happen. If you are having one of these problems and looking for ways to solve these problems permanently, then read on! In this blog, we will list tens of methods to solve these software and hardware issues. Plus, we will guide you through other methods that you can use as an alternative to Airplay to mirroring your iPhone screen to TV.
You can screen mirror an iPhone to any smart or non-smart TV with the help of different wireless and wired methods. Screen mirroring will benefit you in many ways, such as;
Who doesn’t want to enjoy games on a big screen – the characters, vehicles, guns, and other stuff look more cool when on a large display? Only with the help of screen mirroring can this dream be achieved. However, it must be noted that wireless mirroring will show a lot of lag. So most gamers in the world prefer a wired connection to guarantee 100% speed.
If you are a nerd who likes to read at least a book or two in a week, then a screen mirror may be the best option for you because small letters may damage your eyesight. But reading large text on a TV eases the reading. Students, teachers, office persons, and other readers from different paths of life can use this method.
Watching new films, especially Korean series, while streaming directly from your mobile Netflix or Amazon Prime has become a new trend these days. As a movie enthusiast myself, I can vouch that seeing stuff on a big display with large speakers not only makes it more enjoyable but also reveals new aspects that we can’t even notice on small screens. If you are watching alone, then seeing on mobile is possible. However, with friends and family, mirroring to a larger display is a must.
Another unavoidable use of screen mirroring from iPhone to a large display TV is in offices when you want to show presentations to your boss, colleagues, or clients. Displaying slides on a larger screen not only makes it look professional but also helps make it visible to multiple people simultaneously.
Another important scenario of life where screen mirroring is missed a lot is during family gatherings when everyone wants to watch old pictures & videos together on one big screen to relive old memories.
Yes, screen mirroring your iPhone to any TV without any WiFi or Internet is possible by using one of the below methods.
Airplay is a built-in data transfer protocol available in all Apple products. It allows you to share all kinds of data like photos, videos, music, and other stuff, including screen mirroring.
Normally, when establishing a connection between an iPhone and a smart TV, a working WiFi is needed. However, in case your WiFi is not working, or you don’t have any, then you can enable peer-to-peer connection mode in which your mobile will establish a direct connection to the TV without any WiFi in between.
First, disconnect both devices from their Wi-Fi connection.
Make sure that the Wi-Fi option is still enabled on both your iPhone and your TV.
Now, go to your iPhone Bluetooth, search for your TV. And establish a connection with it.
After the successful Bluetooth pairing. Your Apple TV will start showing in your iPhone Airplay search list > simply connect to it. That’s it.
Miracast, also known as Mirascreen, is an all-rounder screen mirroring protocol which can help you establish a direct connection from your iPhone to TV, without any WiFi.
Unlike Airplay, which only supports other Apple Products or Airplay-enabled devices ( very rare ), Mirascreen connects with all kinds of mirroring protocols like Chromecast, Airplay, etc.
Switch on the Mirascreen option on your TV.
Pick up your iPhone > open Wi-Fi settings, and search for Mirascreen > simply connect to it.
Finally, go to your iPhone Screen Mirror option > click on Mirascreen from the given list and allow all permissions. That’s it; your iPhone screen will be displayed on your TV.
“HDMI or VGA cable is another screen mirroring option if you don’t have a WiFi at your place.”
It is worth remembering that for all wireless methods, whether it’s Airplay, Chromecast, or any other, their speed depends on signal strength, which keeps on changing. So you will definitely get a lag in speed. However, when mirroring via a cable connection, a 100% lag-free connection can be guaranteed, which can be very important, especially for gamers whose winning and losing depend on milliseconds.
Another important point to note is that VGA cables can do the mirroring like HDMI cables. But they can’t carry audio like HDMI cables. So, always prefer HDMI cables when mirroring; otherwise, you will have to connect a independent audio cable alongside a VGA cable.
Grab a HDMI/VGA adaptor and connect it to your iPhone charging port.
Now attach one end of the HDMI/ VGA cable to the iPhone adapter and the other end to the TV-relevant HDMI/VGA port. That’s it.
In case your iPhone or TV’s built-in Airplay is not working properly – showing a lot of lag, and you don’t want to spend any extra money on external expensive dongles like Chromecast, Miracast, etc., then you can move on to free screen mirroring apps like FlashGet cast, which is;
“FlashGet is a third-party screen mirroring app which supports both wireless and wired connection.”
One of the best points of the FlashGet Cast app, which makes it more demanding than all other mirroring apps in the market, is its versatile compatibility as using it, you can mirror mobile to PC, mobile to TV, PC to PC, etc.
